COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!!

[Geekman]

Saw this 1960 Pontiac Ventura in Ramsgate today, far from mint condition but definitely cool!

[Rob Dicky]

In Airmyn today a 1909 Riley, heading towards Snaith a silver Morgan, in Castleford a white Capri Laser 2.0, near the roundabout by M&S Pudsey a Lotus Elan front wheel drive type and at the BP garage between Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton a Citroen 2CV in Kermit green. All while enjoying the sunshine and cruising in my X1/9.

DB2/4 I think, unfortunately on a recovery truck on the side of the M1 near junction 21 this afternoon. Looked a lovely car.

Thanks for the info. It was indeed very nice.

You're very welcome. It's amazing what a quick google search on the reg number sometimes turns up.

It's going to be a big day out there on the roads today, lots of delicious machinery, I'm sure. I've already seen a friend in a Fiat 500 pottering around Midhurst and a 1932 Rolls Royce being decorated for the local farm shop owner's son's wedding - and it wasn't even 10.30 yet. (Oh, plus me in the Facellia of course - thanks James for getting it through its MoT yesterday).

I assume this was on your way TO the Opticians, should have gone to Specsavers

Only the MGA was on the way actually.

The Maestro really did look clean but it was on the other side of the road

In the carpark today.

As noted, just the right amount of dents

I think the Land Rover was one of the "Our Classics" from Classic & Sports Car magazine?

Run by Martin Port or James Elliott?

Great spot.

Does this count?

It's neither of them but the Publisher of the mag. Martin used to have one very similar but sold it.

(I used to work there).

Thanks for the reply - I couldn't remember who it was and my old C&SC have been recycled.

It sure does. Ten a penny at one time and now a rare site on the roads.

And if I am not mistaken, that looks like an aftermarket "Smiths" heated rear window.

I agree, that's a cool classic Brian James trailer

The heated rear window was a lot more common than those wheels and tyres
